Walker Of The Worlds Chapter 1615 A Position At The Immortal Court

Chapter 1615 A Position At The Immortal Court

Lin Mu carefully listened to the conversation of the workers, memorizing it all. He was getting some important information if his guess was correct.

"Ah yeah… only the crown prince, a member of the Immortal Court would be able to invite so many people from there like this." The worker said.

"Did he already become one? I thought he was just there for training?" another worker asked in surprise.

"His position is all but confirmed. If the rumors are correct, he's already finished his training and will be conferred an official position soon."

"But can he take up a position in the Immortal Court? Isn't he the crown prince… his obligations lie with the Dao Wind Empire." Someone asked in doubt.

"That's true, but do you really think he needs to take up the mantle of the Emperor? Our Emperor Feng has a long life ahead of him." The first worker scoffed. "You should be careful with your words, someone might take it as you cursing the longevity of the emperor."

Hearing that, the other worker quickly turned silent.

"Regardless, if the crown prince does get a position in the immortal court, it'll only help him. The connections he'll make as well as the gains he'll have from it will eventually help out empire as well." They continued their conversation.

"HEY! What are you four doing! Get back to work, and get to checking the runes!" suddenly the voice of the supervisor could be heard, interrupting them.

Upon hearing that, the workers immediately stopped and meekly went back to working.

"That was interesting…" Lin Mu muttered.

It was surprising for him to learn that the Crown prince of the Dao Wind Empire had reached such a position.

"What exactly does it meant to be training at the Immortal Court Senior Xukong?" Lin Mu questioned.

While Lin Mu could tell it was important, he didn't know what one did if they were appointed. Even the Saintess had talked about it before.

"Mm? Training at the Immortal court is usually meant for the experts of the younger generation. They get to learn about the administrative matters of running entire worlds, as well as the judicial concerns that come along with it.

All this is just the non-cultivation part though. Along with this, they also get pointers from the experts of the immortal court as well as getting exposure to the best experts of the entire Immortal realm and visits to various inheritance grounds.

It is certainly a coveted position that only a few people get." Xukong explained.

Hearing it, Lin Mu was a bit surprised.

"And the Saintess was offering me that?" Lin Mu couldn't help but raise his brows.

"Yes, she did. You easily qualify for it." Xukong replied. "But it also comes with its restraints. If you do take it up, you will be bound to complete the training and once it is done, they will a.s.sign you to a position.

The position can be within any of the four Immortal Courts, or in a world. You will have to serve in this position for a few thousand years after which you can choose to resign." He explained.

"Hmm… but I'm guessing people don't mind that?" Lin Mu asked.

"Of course not. To them, that is the greatest fortune they can have. Rather than worrying about when they can leave, they are anxious about how to extend their serving time. The benefits and wealth obtained from it is ma.s.sive after all.

And once one resigns or retires from it, they will be considered a person with great influence. So much so that you will get preferential treatment even when you reach the Celestial realm." Xukong answered.

"No wonder… And that crown prince will be doing that." Lin Mu muttered.

"Why? Do you wish to join it now too?" Xukong asked seeing Lin Mu's expression.

"No." Lin Mu shook his head. "It would be far too restrictive for me. Plus there is no telling if what would happen if they found out about the secrets I have." He added.

"That's true. Though it is still a good option if you feel like you want a place to 'settle' for a few thousand years." Xukong replied calmly.

"Hmm… I'll keep that in mind." Lin Mu didn't think that moment would come time soon with how much lifespan he had left.

He was barely twenty seven years old right now after all.

~huu~

"Let's get down from here first." Lin Mu said and tried to fly but couldn't. "Huh?"

"You can't fly in an Imperial Capital like this without permission." Xukong reminded.

"Of course." Lin Mu shook his head.

~SHUA~ SHUA~

But just as he said that, Lin Mu saw several travelers flying without an issue.

"How can they fly?" Lin Mu was now confused.

One of the guards nearby seemed to have heard him and spoke, "those who have permissive tokens can fly."

"How can one get that?" Lin Mu wished he could have one, as it would make things convenient.

"You can get one if you're a n.o.ble, have an official position, are gifted one, or gain fame for it to be bestowed." The guard said in a flat tone.

"Ah…" Lin Mu realized it was not as simple as just buying one. "Walking it is then."

He went down the stairs with the other travelers that didn't have the permissive tokens and soon reached the bottom. After all, they were all immortals and weren't exactly slow.

Upon getting down, Lin Mu first decided to get a place to settle down.

"Now then, let's see." Lin Mu took out the booklet for the tournament.

There were plenty of places mentioned on it that one could stay it. It was clear that these were advertis.e.m.e.nt put by the owners of these establishments. There were over a hundred such places listed in it, along with their address.

"Just the address won't help me, if I don't know what the location is. I also need a map." Lin Mu decided to get a map first.
